How to boost your metabolism How many of us notice that some people can eat tonnes of food and stay slim, whilst some find it extremely hard to even drop a couple of pounds? Although genetics can play a small role in how efficiently our body can burn calories, our lifestyles are what really makes the difference (every pound of muscle burns 35 calories a day, whereas every pound of fat burns just 2 calories a day). There are simple changes you can make to your diet, exercise regime and sleeping patterns that can kick-start your metabolism, giving you the results you’ve been striving for. Here’s how to boost your metabolism, naturally: The right kind of training Doing the right kind of cardio can help your metabolism rise not only for the duration of the workout, but a long time afterwards as well. An oxygen deficit is created when we train intensely and our muscles scream for more O2. To compensate, we go through “Excess post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption”. In simpler terms, our...

Maybe you don’t want such a full face or feel you’ve got chubby cheeks. You should always embrace the looks you were born with because confidence is the best attractiveness boost. That being said, there are ways you can naturally make your face look slimmer. Get rid of overall body fat . If you want your face to look less fat, you need to lose fat overall.

It takes about 3,500 calories burned to lose a single pound. You will burn some calories every day just by living and breathing. You need to burn more than you take in to lo...

After my last post I did on how I stay fit, you guys asked if I could start sharing my workouts and what I actually do at the gym so I am going to be making more of an effort to do so! Since going full-time with my blog and working from home, its been a challenge for me to avoid getting lazy with my workouts. I signed up with Class Pass and have really enjoyed going to some of the different classes, but sometimes I don’t feel like driving to a gym/studio or participating in a class and just want to get a quick workout in at home. When doing so I always try to incorporate a mix of cardio & circuit body weight training, because for my body, that’s what makes me feel good. Scroll down for few little circuit workouts that you can do at home (or the gym)…enjoy and if you try it out, let me know your thoughts!!  via

Summer is upon us and that means one thing – fake tan season is underway! Whether you’re a first time tanner or a seasoned pro, it’s time to get your bronze on and embrace the beachy glow. But, unfortunately, blunders happen no matter how long you’ve been tanning! Check out three ways we like to deal with our fake tan mishaps so you can get back to being gorgeous! Scrub it away: If your tan has developed and it’s streaky or simply too dark, your best bet is to begin with an exfoliation. Not just any old scrub will do though. We recommend finding a body scrub with very fine beads rather than your normal sugar scrub. Being smaller means they are less likely to strip the skin which is ideal; you only want to remove a small amount of fake tan, not a whole top layer of skin! Hair removal cream: Yes, you read correctly. If you’ve found that you’ve had too much product build up around your ankles, wrists, knees and elbows, you might find that applying your regular old hai...

As we are focusing for awhile on bedrooms in our Best of the Best series, I was thinking about the best bedroom colours. Of course, everyone will have a different description of what the “best” pretty bedroom colours would be! Your house, your lighting, your taste, your moods, your style, your room and your furniture can all play into your decisions for a bedroom colour scheme. Your bedroom should be your escape from the rest of the house (and the world), so most of all you should feel like it draws you there (whatever that means to you). Interestingly I find sometimes the aspects of a photo I’m really drawn to are not the same elements that I’m drawn to in my real life room. They might be the same if I pick a photo that has similarities to my space, but when you are actually in your own room you still might be working with or around other features or limitations. Your own room has more dimension to experience than what you can see from a photo. Observe the size of your s...

Every time you move large muscle groups at high intensity you incur quite a high oxygen debt that needs to be repaid. That repayment comes with a higher energy burn and an overall increased energy burn. Yes you will sweat and yes again, you will gasp for breath but you will also get to extend your endurance, test your VO2 Max and will get to work pretty hard. Make the transition from one exercise to the next as fast a possible and add EC and this workout becomes pretty hard indeed. Raise your knees to waist height during High Knees and your lungs will scream a little. It's still however a Level II workout which means you can adjust it to your capabilities as you go along.  via

Many people say that practicing a healthy nutritious diet is a hard thing to do, this is only true if you aren’t educated on how to practice a healthy diet. Tips like the ones in this article, serve as a way of educating you on ways you can practice healthy nutritious ways of life. Nutrition is something you should study if you are striving for good health and/or weight loss. A holistic approach points out that nutrition provides the building blocks for a healthy body: leave out some of those “building blocks” and you will not have sound health. Therefore it is important to search diligently through writings on nutrition and put your knowledge into practice. TIP! Milk and sun exposure are great vitamin D sources. Consider taking a vitamin D supplement if you do not get much sun or drink much milk. You will want to consider pesticides and their effect on your food. They are generally portrayed as detrimental. But if you talk with farmers, you may come to a more nuanced view...

If you want to build “head-turning” strength and break through lifting plateaus, then you must utilize exercise rotation. Hitting plateaus is sadly something we will all experience. If there were no such thing, there would be a lot more people walking around strutting a strong, lean and chiseled physique. Us humans, are actually very efficient at adapting to certain stimuli. The goal of the body is to reach and maintain homeostasis. It is how we survive. Although, that is kind of bad news when we want to build strength and muscle. This means we need to consistently work hard to plow through any plateau or obstacle that stands in our way. Workout after workout, we can get burnt out from a particular exercise. Our bodies, mind, and even central nervous system take a hit. What you need is something new. Something that is a fresh stimulus to keep the gains coming! Remember, you should have purpose and strategy behind your workouts. If the goal is to build strength and muscle, awe...

 Most of us are certain that we have free will, though what exactly this amounts to is much less certain. According to David Hume, the question of the nature of free will is “the most contentious question of metaphysics.” If this is correct, then figuring out what free will is will be no small task indeed. Minimally, to say that an agent has free will is to say that the agent has the capacity to choose his or her course of action. But animals seem to satisfy this criterion, and we typically think that only persons, and not animals, have free will. Let us then understand free will as the capacity unique to persons that allows them to control their actions. It is controversial whether this minimal understanding of what it means to have a free will actually requires an agent to have a specific faculty of will, whether the term "free will" is simply shorthand for other features of persons, and whether there really is such a thing as free will at all. via

The human body contains around 60% water, which plays a key role in all aspects of life. However, excess water retention is a common side effect of chronic inflammation. Also known as fluid retention, edema can be caused by food intolerance, poor diet, toxin exposure and diseases like kidney failure. Women may also experience water retention during the luteal phase of their menstrual cycle and during pregnancy. For most people, excess water weight is not a serious health issue. However, it can still negatively impact your appearance and quality of life. Here are 13 ways to reduce water weight fast and safely. 1. Exercise on a Regular Basis Exercise may be one of the best ways to reduce water weight in the short-term. Any form of it increases sweat, which means you will lose water. The average fluid loss during 1 hour of exercise is anywhere between 16–64 oz (0.5–2 liters) per hour, depending on factors such as heat and clothing. During exercise, your body also shifts a lot...
